GAS AND LIKE COOKING-OVEN'.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 23, 1911.

Application led .Tune 20, 1910. Serial No. 567,965.

.To all whom it may concern: A

Be it known that I, JOSEPH ARTHUR FORD GLovER, a subject of the King ofGreat Britain and Ireland, and a resident of Wandsworth, Surrey,England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas andLike Cooking-Ovens; and .I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and

oven on the line, 1-1, Fig. 2; Fig. 2 is av sectional elevation on theline 2-2, Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a sectional plan on the line 3-3, Fig. 1;Fig. 4 is a plan of Fig. 2; Fig. 5 is a front elevation; and Fig. 6 is asectional elevation on the line, 6-6, Fig. 1.

The apparatus comprises an oven proper, a, having a door, al, andsupported on legs or walls, as, arranged so as to form or leave areceptacle orspace, a", for lreceiving a gas or oil stove, -such as a,for example, shown in dotted lines.

According to the invention, the'oven bottom, a5, is formed with anopening, a?, for the fiames or heated gases direct from the lamp orburner, placed thereunder, to pass through. An inverted detlecting cone,b, is supported a short distance above the opening to evenly distributethe heat to all four sides of the oven, the flames or heated gasesimpinging on the inclined sides of the cone. rlhe opening, a6), alsoserves for the entrance of air which becomes-heated by the flames andthe hot cone in passing through the annular inlet formed between theedge of the opening, a6, and the wall of the cone. The cone is supportedpreferably by legs'or distance pieces, b1, a short distance below afalse bottom, b2, so as to leave an insulating air space between thecone and the false bottom. The false bottom is preferably removable, topermit of its being readily taken 'out and renewed, and has legs, b3,shown as perforated plates, resting on the oven bottom, a5. v

b4 is a shield arranged between the cone and the false bottom, to leavea secondary air space beneath the false bottom and to aid in equalizingthe temperature of the latter. proper to the oven for dishes or otherarticles to rest on. rllhe dist-ance pieces b1, are attached at theirtops to the shield b4 by rivets which also serve to attach shield b4 tothe false bottom b2. The false bottom is of such dimensions as to leavea space, m, all around between its four sides and the four walls of theoven, to enable the heated gases to rise at the four sides. The falsebottom is kept central by suitable means, for example, by bars, b5, andprojections, be.

c represents ledges for supporting a tray, d, for heating or cookingthings in the upper part of the oven. The ledges and trays are arrangedso as to leave a space, y, at the four sides, to enable the heated gasesto rise. i

At, a short distance from the top of the oven is provideda reflectingplate, e, for re'- flecting the rising heat toward the central part othe oven. The plate, e, also serves as a support for kettles, saucepans,or the like, placed through openings, a9, in the oven- The false bottomserves as a bottom top. The plate is perforated, as at el, and

is formed with depending corrugations, as at e2, to enable the heatedgases to freely circulate under the bottom of the saucepans or the like.The heated gases can also circulate around the bottom parts of thesaucepans or the like. The plate, e, is of such dimensions as to enablethe heated gases to` front plate, al", and is secured in position by anotch, f1, engaging the front plate.

The various arrows in the drawlngs illustrate diagrammaticallyl how ltheheated gases circulate within the oven and secondary chamber.

'The invention is of advantage in that the articles being cooked` orheated are on all sides subjected to the heat lfrom the uprising heatedgases, and the heat being reflected at the' upper part of the oven thetempera-A ture is practically even at all parts thereof. Further,sincethe iames and heated gases are deflected immediately they impingeheate against the inclined sidesd of the cone, the latter lasts longerthan ovens having fiat bottoms against which the flames of va lamp orburner impinge. jThe invention -is also of advantagel inv that thecorrugations in `conjunction with the Aperforations in the ployed thancustomary, whereby a saving in fuel is obtained.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is fAn lovenl for cooking or heating articles, constructed with an openinadapted to' receive heated air and products of combustion and an openingin the top, and having a short distance above the bottom opening asuitably supported inverted deflecting cone, and a short distance belowthe top opening a suitably supported late provided with corrugations andper orations, the plate being adapted to serve the twofold purpose ofreflecting the rising heat toward the central part o the oven and ofsupporting a 'receptacle Iwhen placed throughthe top opening,substantially as described. 'e

In testimony whereof I ax iny signature, in presence of two subscriblngwitnesses.
